About product

The real subject

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was an American single-seat fighter from the time of the Second World War and a conspicuous exception among its contemporaries. Its engine was mounted in the middle of the fuselage behind the pilot and the driveshaft ran forward beneath the cockpit floor to the propeller, so heavy armament could be fitted into the front section. The cockpit was entered through side doors as in an automobile, and the landing gear was tricycle with a nosewheel, which at the time was an unusual feature on a fighter. A large share of the machines built went to the Soviet Air Force, where the type proved itself.

What the set contains

The set joins two things: replacement landing gear wheels and paint masks for them. The wheels replace the parts from the kit and are supplied as finished replacement parts, while the masks serve to separate the color of the hub from the color of the tire without laborious outlining with a brush.

  • replacement wheels for a model in 1:72 scale
  • paint masks enclosed with the wheels
  • the real subject: the Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter
  • the parts are not polystyrene, they are bonded with super glue

Building and painting tips

Cut off excess material with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder down carefully, so that the shape of the tire does not suffer. Wash and degrease the wheels before painting, otherwise paint holds unreliably. Stick the mask onto a dry base coat and always before spraying the next color, press the edge down with a wooden stick and peel it off after spraying while the paint is still fresh. The specific procedure is given in the instructions enclosed by the manufacturer.

Terms of supply

The aircraft kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

They make it easier to paint the hub and the tire separately. You stick them onto dry paint, spray over them with the second shade and peel them off after spraying.

Super glue. The parts are not polystyrene, so glue for plastic kits does not hold on them.

It is not. The set of wheels and masks is supplied on its own; the kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

Cut off and sand down the excess material and wash and degrease the wheels. Only then will the paint lie evenly.
